    Then you're a geek who'll be hanging around the Science Hub, then. No different from everyone else there, regardless of your ego. Think you're better, and have the right to judge people just by looking at them? Oh man... good luck at UCD, or any university... or the world outside.

    Engineers are just as geeky as science students.

    Yeah you see I don't spout insults at real people, just the creepy members of the student body like yourself and the others who are so put out by me telling them that they are weird kunts

    You might wanna talk to someone about that serious case of attention deficit disorder you've got going on there...its like reading posts from Rainman on acid.

    Talk to the DSS, they'll sort you out with a little room to yourself where you'll be free to twitch away to your hearts desire.

    Grow the fcuk up!

    What he said, I don't especially want to have to either prune chunks out of this thread or lock it. The negative influence has been removed, let's get back to the discussion at hand.

    I might come along, but I have no idea how I'll recognize ye? As for geeks...if your in college your already a geek to the rest of society :D No amount of trendy scarves and scoffing sub-standard pills will change that fact.

    lol@ the dude who listed BDSM and heavy metal as interests. :pac:

    If you've been following this thread, you'll know this is not the first time that negativity has tried to take over. There's a saying that you might hear, especially if you ever end up in Management: "focus on the issue, not on the person", and it's been ignored a couple of times.

    Previously, I made some suggestions about how it might be made to work in time for this semester. In response we got a lot of "it can't be done", and I got abuse from people who thought it was some kind of pet project of mine ("your society"). No point continuing that discussion - the focus was on me, not on the Society. CursedSkeptic responded to a constructive suggestion - the meeting - by focusing on the people who might attend, missing the point of what we're talking about here.

    A UCD Skeptics Society is still a noble, worthwhile idea. If you like the idea, but are concerned it would not meet your idea of what a Skeptical Society would be, you will achieve nothing by sitting here on the sidelines, and sniping at those who are making the effort to get it up and running. I said it before, and I'll say it again: quit sniping and get involved - then, at least there's a chance that the Skeptical Society will be what you think it should be. The real work will all be happening at UCD, face-to-face - not here.

    Thank you very much bnt.

    Indeed, the society is still in the womb and is ready to be moulded into any shape that is agreed apon by active members. The whole reason I've called this meeting is to set it up, not to have the first talk! I don't want a society that acts and sounds like me, because few would listen tbh. I'm not infallible and I think the agenda is too important to be set and run by one person.


    ...And my geekiness has nothing to do with my small willie.

    Hey did anybody actually go to this?

    FYI -- there is a 'God Debate' on tomorrow. There's posters around the place. I'm working unfortunately!

    Morning. So, has there been any progress, in forming a Skeptics' Society, since the last posts? The end of the academic year is fast-approaching ...

    I know I'm a little late but the idea sounds good to me. Doubt I'd have the organisational skills to help set it up but I'd definitely join. Best of luck.
